Capacity Manager provides graphical representation of an element's storage capacity and utilization in the storage network. It provides the following tabs:

Keep in mind the following:

•The Capacity Manager displays the total capacity of an application, including the network drives. If you look at the capacity of the application in Chargeback Manager, the capacity differs.
